From Earl Mohr: Very sad to hear of Bill's passing, but what a wonderful gentleman he was. My first Division Executive at Chase, and the bar was set high at that moment. So well respected in the Wall Street community of that time and a fantastic teacher and mentor. Many of us owe a great deal to Bill.
From Ted Klingos: Bill was the consummate professional and a gentleman. He was a positive force for everyone and a mentor to many. There was no one on Wall Street who did not know and respect him.
May his memory be eternal.
